About this book
Description of a New Softshell Turtle From the Southeastern United States is by Robert G. Webb. The paper says that examination of softshell turtles allied to Trionyx muticus from the southeastern United States discloses the presence of an undescribed subspecies inhabiting river systems of the Gulf Coast. The new subspecies is headed Trionyx muticus calvatus, Gulf Coast Smooth Softshell. Measurements were made in millimeters with a Vernier caliper and a metal tape.
Hatchlings were arbitrarily designated as specimens having plastrons shorter than 44 mm. The text says Trionyx m. calvatus is known from the Pearl, Pascagoula and Escambia river drainages and is to be expected in the Tombigbee-Alabama river drainage. A list of works includes a 1948 paper by Conant and Goin on a new subspecies of soft-shelled turtle from the central United States.
